@ ichommy, we'll said bro... I just hope a defender and striker will come in. Wenger keeps hammering on quality buys, yet they are being bought by other clubs right under his nose. I hope we won't settle for a Chamack and Squillaci at the end |

With Arsenal once again starting the season in the worst possible way - a 4-3 home defeat to Liverpool - and morale at its lowest in recent memory, Arsene Wenger is rightly under pressure. Usually calm and collected, he looked visibly down in his post-match interview with Sky Sports. Whilst it would be easy to feel sorry for Wenger, it must be remembered that most of Arsenal's problems are seemingly of their own making, with the club yet to splash their cash on the striker and centre-back that every man and his football-inclined dog knows they so desperately need. With Wenger so good at making excuses, here is a list of ten things he must never be allowed to say again. 1. "THERE WAS NO 'TOP QUALITY' AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET" Arsene Wenger has always insisted that he will only sign top-quality players who will improve his team. Nothing wrong with that in itself, if the reality in any way matched up. Not only have Arsenal signed some blatently not top-quality players in recent years - see Yaya Sanogo, Chu-Young Park, Kim Kallstrom, Marouane Chamakh, and the list goes on - but they have sat idly by, claiming no one is available, while other clubs snatch up top talent. Next time Arsene Wenger tries to kid you into thinking quality players are not on the market, ask yourself how all the other top clubs seem able to sign players. What he probably means is that there were no world-class players available for the "sensible" (read: small; suitable five years ago) fee he was willing to pay. Totally unacceptable. 2. "IT IS DIFFICULT TO SIGN PLAYERS TOWARDS THE END OF THE WINDOW" No doubt this is true. As the closing of the transfer window approaches, clubs become less and less willing to let their players go, knowing they have little chance of finding replacements at such a late stage. When players do move at this stage, it is often at an inflated price to compensate for this. However, nothing has stopped Wenger doing his transfer business early in the window. He brought in Granit Xhaka nice and early, but then stopped when it really mattered. This year his excuse was the Euros, but every year there's something, and when he is asked about transfer plans his answer is always that Arsenal are looking, that Arsenal are active in the window, and that the last week of the window is often the busiest - implying he feels that the end of the window is actually the correct time to push for signings. But then if that doesn't work out, it's because the end of the window is too difficult. Make up your mind, Arsene. It's also worth remembering that the transfer window may still be open, but the season has actually already begun, and there will be a fair few games to play before the window shuts - and a fair few points that can be won or lost while your team are dithering in the market. Which takes us nicely on to the next point... 3. "THE TRANSFER WINDOW SHOULD CLOSE BEFORE THE SEASON BEGINS" This is quite simple really. He may well have a point. But it's totally, completely, irrefutably irrelevant. As it stands, the window stays open until (usually) the end of August. Deal with it - everyone else does. 4. "WE CANNOT COMPETE FINANCIALLY WITH THE BIG CLUBS" Rubbish. Arsenal are widely-regarded as one of the most cash-rich clubs on the planet. The Gunners moved their home to the Emirates Stadium in 2006 in order to be able to compete financially with the big boys - a point always stressed in the past by the club's CEO, Ivan Gazidis, who has insisted that Arsenal can now compete financially with the world's biggest clubs. With Arsenal's huge match-day revenue (more than any other club in world football), their sponsorship deals, and now their share of the enormous new Premier League TV rights, the club are awash with money. That doesn't mean they have to spend £150 million every summer, but they can certainly spend £100 million this summer, should they choose to. If they don't, it's not because they cannot compete financially, it's because they won't. 5. PLAYERS RETURNING FROM INJURY ARE "LIKE NEW SIGNINGS" No, they're not. For every one player returning from injury, another has just got injured, and so it begins again. Arsenal are in dire need of new signings, not old signings long-forgotten. Let returning players be a bonus; the icing on the cake - not the cake itself. 6. "WE ARE NOT QUITE READY FOR THE SEASON" Sorry, what? Is it not Wenger's job to make sure the team are ready for the season when the season actually begins? As mentioned in point 2, the season is already upon us and Arsenal have already dropped their first three points. Stating "We are not ready physically" (as he did, after the 4-3 loss) is totally unacceptable - especially considering just one week earlier he specifically said "Physically, we look ready". Awful excuse that will do nothing to appease fans. 7. ANYTHING ABOUT "MENTAL STRENGTH" No. Just no. Wenger has been talking about Arsenal's apparent abundance of mental strength for the last ten years, with virtually nothing to show for it. Sorry, Arsene, there is no trophy for mental strength, and the fans don't want to hear it anymore. Go out and win the matches - that's all the proof of strength, mental or otherwise, you need. Losing a match and talking about mental strength as a positive might be true when it happens once or twice; when it's predictable as clockwork, it loses all meaning. 8. "JUDGE ME AT THE END OF THE SEASON" On paper this is a fair statement. However, Wenger has found a way to exploit it almost as if it's a loophole. At no stage does there seem to be any accountability. When the end of the season does arrive, and Arsenal have once again failed to win major honours, Arsene makes his excuses, says something about mental strength, insists that Arsenal will strengthen where they need to (if they can find top-quality, of course), and will come back stronger next season. Then the transfer window opens, and fans wait for the big names to start flowing in as promised, and when that doesn't happen Arsene says they need to be patient because Arsenal are active and looking, and the last week of the window is often the busiest. Then the window closes, and no one major has signed, and Arsene defends himself against the onslaught coming at him by telling them to judge him at the end of the season. See? Loophole. 9. "I NEARLY SIGNED [INSERT NAME OF WORLD-CLASS PLAYER]" No one cares! It might have been interesting the first or second time, maybe even the third and fourth, but does Wenger really think the fans still want to hear that practically every one of the world's top players nearly signed for Arsenal, while in the mean time fans are desperate to see any actual signings materialise? 10. "LITTLE BIT" Just because. Source https://realsport101.com/news/sports/football/opinion/top-10-things-arsene-wenger-must-never-say-again Add yours 1 Like |
